Although I have seen elk Killed with the 30-06,270win etc,I have never used one myself,in fact I choose not to own either.All of my elk were killed with the 7mmstw,300ultramag,or the 8mmremmag.

I've never shot an elk... never really wanted to, but dad did, and he used his 30-06.

You are missing out on a challenging hunt,and a freezer full of very good meat.

naaaaaa, back in the "old days" a 30-06 was big enough for elk, these days yer a wimp if you use one... I think i better stick to shootin brown bears with my non-magnums.... I forget what EKM called me forkillin brown bears, but i remember it sounded better than "wimp"... lol lol

i am thinking about getting a tank for the job. i figuresome practicewith that and i can work my way up to a .338 or a375 h+h or something!

no serioulsy i wouldntgo with anything less than a 52 bomber, for the sake of a clean kill in case i miss the vitals i can still bring it down(hopefully).

Shot my first elk with a .270. Never found him.
I then used a 7mm Rem. Mag with good success.
I shot a cow one year with my son's 7mm-08.
I now use the .300 Win. Mag.

But my absolute favorite is my 70lb Reflex Superslam!
